I've read this somewhere before, but I'm having trouble finding it on
google...

I need to copy a series of files without using a loop.  I think the
syntax is something like:  cp /path/to/[file1 file2] /destination/folder

But that doesn't work.  Does anybody know the correct syntax?  Google
isn't so good at searching special characters like [ and {
